Meal Plan Friday 23rd November 2018

It has been a long old week, Mr MC&W has been away in India since Saturday and I have been solo parenting. This is fine, the hardest part is all the type 1 decisions I am making on my own with out him to talk it over with. This week is not too heavy food as he has informed me all he has done is eaten three course meals for lunch and dinner.

 Friday - Chicken Cesar Salad for us as it is a light and fresh meal. The boys are having fish and chips as last week they had McDonald's aster the eldest had an accident at school.

 Saturday - Spag Bol for us all

 Sunday - Quorn dippers, mash and veggies for the boys and we are having a fish and lentil dish this one is so simple and tasty

 Braised peas with bacon lentils-and-cod

 Monday - Spinach and Courgette Fritatta with salad this is from Ginos Healthy Italian. The boys will have tomato soup with rolls

 Tuesday - Maple Glazed Sausages in rolls with wedges. The boys will have spaghetti in a homemade tomato sauce and cheese

 Maple glazed hot dogs with mustardy onions

 Wednesday - Simple Paella this is an Ainsley Harriot recipe form his meals in mins book I am trying the boys with this.

 Thursday - We have the school bazaar so food needs to be simple and quick, tortellini for the boys and we will have it slightly more interesting

    You say the meals are simple yet they sound so amazing, honestly.
    I do hope your son isn't too badly injured and is on the mend.
    I need to try tomato soup one day. If I have ever had it, it must have been over 20 years ago. I will try it again and see if we like it here. Do you make it from scratch or do you just buy the canned ones?
    Do have a great frugal week ahead.

Pleached Trees - Higher Privacy Solution

As you are aware we have had the new fence put in and are trying to find some ways to gain some privacy back, the new garden fence . Today I took the boys on a trip to one of my favourite places to look at trees and plants. English Woodlands located at Cross in Hand, East Sussex. We brought our laurel plants from them about 4 years ago, they were extremely good plants healthy, strong and have since flourished. As a nursery, they helped us choose what we needed and even told us to buy smaller ones as they would grow so fast, saving us money. I have been looking online and wondered if pleached trees maybe an answer to our height issue. What they should do is bring height to the fence but still allow light in. Now these are by no means a cheap and as always I am not sure if Mr MC&W is going to like them. So what is a pleached tree you ask?, to be honest, I only found out when frantically on google looking for  solutions for the new fence. A pleached tree is where som...

Meal Plan Saturday 18th June 2016

The weeks are just flying by at the moment. Last weeks meal plan went ok, the cheesy broccoli, ham and pasta bake was great even though I changed the meal massively from that on BBC Good Food. I adored the Pea Pakoras the boys not so much,  we will give them another go. The toad in the hole was for Mr and Mrs MC&W tasty and for once I cooked it well, boys loved the Yorkshire puddings but sausages are still not going down to well. This week is very busy so we are having a few quick and easy or throw it in the oven and leave to cook meals. We also have baby ZAP beginning to wean so putting his first few tastes on the meal plan as well. Busy times ahead. I am using as I did with both the boys Annabel Karmels ideas to start with and then doing a combination of baby lead weaning. This dual way worked well with both OEP and ATM. This week it's all about a few first tastes as he has had a few days on baby rice now and it's time to move on a little. I will also be starting to...

Feeding a Bee with sugar water

Have you ever been in the garden and seen a sad looking bee on the ground not really moving? You watch it for a while realising the poor little chap is really struggling. I have found several bees like this and tried to feed them sugar water. But my attempts to rescue them mainly ended with me trying to drown them, I was really not aiding them during their time of need. But I have finally developed a method that works so I thought I would share. Mix together white sugar with a little water so that it completely dissolves, RSPB suggests 2 tablespoons of sugar with one tablespoon of water. I used desert spoons but the same ratio. The advice is never to use honey or brown sugar.  This is what worked for me, move the bee to a paving stone, I used a strong leaf they tend to walk onto it, if not you can easily slide it under them, then drip a small amount of the sugar water in front of the bee. The bee will start to drink the sugar water and you will see it begin to get stronger. It...
